Premium wild-caught Golden King Crab (Lithodes aequispinus) harvested from the cold, pristine waters of the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean at depths of 300-1,000 feet. This 5-pound case contains pre-cooked crab sections that are flash-frozen immediately after harvest to lock in freshness and flavor.
Golden King Crab is celebrated by chefs and seafood enthusiasts for its milder, sweeter taste compared to Red King Crab, with a distinctively buttery texture and tender meat. While slightly smaller than Red King Crab, these sections still offer generous, satisfying portions of succulent crab meat. The shells are notably spikier than other king crab varieties, so seafood shears are recommended for the easiest cracking.
Since the crab is already fully cooked, preparation involves gentle reheating rather than cooking from raw. Popular methods include steaming for 5-6 minutes, baking at 400°F for 5-7 minutes with lemon and garlic, or grilling for 5 minutes. Serve with melted butter and fresh lemon wedges for the classic experience. Perfect for crab legs with garlic butter, creamy bisque, or elegant crab cakes.
Golden King Crab is an excellent source of high-quality protein, rich in omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular health, and provides essential nutrients including vitamin B12, zinc, and selenium while being low in fat and calories.
